Python employability

I just started learning Python and it's sort of fun, though I much prefer mathematics+literature, and some other more fundamental subjects. I'm pretty much alone in life, and I'd rather not be homeless, so I see programming as a way to ensure employability and as a way to free up time to study other things (programming really does seem like an ideal employment opportunity for an intelligent introvert, especially one that can't stand other people, and is transgender). Assuming I focus on it for 5 hours a day, what's a reasonable timescale expectation for employment? (I live near Seattle, and yes, I know that Django is important) >_>

HA HA HA

Glad I could amuse you, though I am inclined to believe that you're easily amused.

Not sure if IHBT, but learning to program isn't going to solve these ``problems'' either.

Oh, I know it won't. I'm okay with being an outsider to society, as long as I can live comfortably, and meet a few people I can stand conversing with.

If you really do learn in these 5 hours, and not just fuck around with your interpreter and some codesnippets you found while stealing code, you might be ready for employment in about 3-4 months. Because "knowing" the language itself doesn't replace experience.

Iunno. I'm a very 'global'/'abstract' thinker, it seems that when it comes to programming I'll get better much faster if I learn what things do, not just how to do them.

Ask Google. They used to do alot with Python, and might still be interested in Python programmers.

Ah, I'm realistic. I may be good enough for that in a couple of years or something, but right now I'm content with programming 40 hours a week and making more than $1.8K a month. My living expenses are pretty low, so I'd jump on $10 an hour as long as I could learn lots of metaprogramming stuff. IMO $10 an hour+learning>$30 an hour with specialized stuff that won't teach me any long term things.

Not trolling, I swear. ._.
